Christmas Calendar Sparks Love Quest in New Dating Show

Fremantle has secured international distribution and production rights for 'The Advent Calendar,' a novel festive dating series. This original format centers on one single's journey to find love before Christmas, engaging with potential partners revealed daily through a giant Advent calendar. The show promises a blend of holiday enchantment and playful dating dynamics, offering viewers a unique festive romantic quest.

Each day in December, a new door is opened, unveiling a suitor and an "enchanting" seasonal experience. The hopeful singleton embarks on distinctive dates, with a "beloved" comedian serving as the "fairy godmother" host. Contestants compete for the single's heart, aiming to be the one invited home for Christmas dinner, adding a heartwarming family element to the competition.

Filmed in a "fantasy-built world" adorned with festive decor, the light-hearted series aims to bring classic Christmas fairytales to life. Both Fremantle and Sphere Media expressed excitement about the partnership, highlighting the show's charm, imagination, and potential to resonate with global audiences. 'The Advent Calendar' is set to premiere on Canada's Crave platform on December 1st.
